2014 East Idaho Home and Garden Show

Can you tell what the kids favorite part of the 2014 East Idaho Home and Garden Show was?  Out of hundreds of vendors, the girls and cousins had so much fun playing with the day old baby quail at their favorite, the Coop Craft booth.  As you can see, they are VERY tiny and absolutely adorable.  We were at the booth a long time as the kids just didn't want to be pulled away.  Even Ethan, our toddler, liked them although he was too nervous about what they were too touch them.  Obviously the bigger kids didn't have any issues with that.

Can we keep one?

One of the King cousins kept asking if she could take one home with her since they were only $2.  The quail is the cheap part.  It's the rest that adds up quick!  Although, I did get some ideas if we ever decide to do chickens again.  The vendor used a small fish tank with wire mesh on the bottom and a heat lamp.  We happen to have several currently empty fish tanks and an unused heat lamp on hand.  Great idea for baby chicks.  

We all had fun at the Clearwater Spa booth playing miniature golf.  The kids got a piece of candy for trying and if they made the put then they got a big candy bar.  Only one kid made the put but I got lucky and made one, too.  The gentleman then sent me to the next levels and told me I could win a free date night if I made it.  Wahoo!  Hubby and I are going out while oldest babysits!  Totally free date night.  Thanks Clearwater Spa!

Hubby and I's next favorite booths were the landscaping designers: Outback Landscape Inc., Lawn Tech, Bushman Landscaping Inc., and Merrill Landscaping.  I was hoping to find some ideas for the backyard and I wasn't disappointed  We found several very nice and easy to do firepit design ideas.  The one by Bushman Landscaping, Inc., was our favorite as it had the outer seating area that would fit a lot of people.  I told out oldest we found a fun project for him this summer.  He looked a little wary when I mentioned that as he and our second son weren't there to see it.  Haha.  It will be fun to enlists the kids' help to get it done once the weather warms up. 

All in all we had a good time.  If you happen to be in East Idaho in March, stop by Idaho Falls and check out the East Idaho Home and Garden Show.  We look forward to going again next year!
